American Harvesting Machinery In Aus

 Australian papers just received announce the award of the National Gold Medal to AULTMAN, MILLER & Co.,, of Akron, O., for their Light Draft Buckeye Folding Binder, IS the result of the National field trial held n December last The following, cut from the Melbourne Argus of December 16 1886, giving particulars of the contest, will be of interest," The Argus says:
 The field trial of reapers and binders in connection with the National Show at Shepparton was held on Tuesday, the 14th inst, on Mir. Guthrie's farm, about two miles from Shepparton. Owing to the pressure of harvest work, crops in all di- rections being ripe, the attendance or farm CTS did not exceed 150, but great interest was taken in the proceedings. As at the late show, the judges placed the Hornsby machine first, M' Cormick second and the Woods third; the "Buckeye'' representa- tive disliked being left out in the cold, and demanded a field trial as provided by the rules, the M MCormick also sharing in the ing the field trial The crop was ripe wheat, and the land was so rough that none of the machines could show very low cutting, and the jolting over the hard clods was tolerably severe on horses, machines and drivers. Two o'clock was the hour fixed for the trial, but as the "Bucl1eye'' was the only machine then ready, delay was caused by the Hornsby and M'Cormlck experts giving their machines a pre- Iiminary run in the adjoining block of crop, and tart was not made until quarter past three. The five judges gave great at- tention to their duties, and were ably sec onded by the subcommittee, appointed by the society and the secretary, NIT. Harold B. Turnley. About two acres were allotted to each machine, and they finished in the following order: Buckeye" l hour 10 minutes; Hornsby, 1 hour 19 minutes; Mccormick, hour 26 minutes. The two latter machines were drawn by three horses each, while two lighter horses worked the Buckeye" binder with equal ease. The decision of the judges was based on the following scale of points:

The Surest Guide for the ultimate Happi-
ness of Races and individuals.
Short men asa rule prefer tall wom-
on, while tall men admire little
women. Dark pairs by preference
with ia il; the commonplace often runs
after the original. People have long
noticed that this attraction towards
ones opposite tends to keep true the
standard of the race; they have not,
perhaps, so generally observed that it
also indicates roughly the existence in
either individual of desire for its
own natural complement. 1t is diff
cult here to give definite examples, but
everybody knows how, in the subtle
psychology of falling in love, there are
involved innumerable minor elements,
physical and mental, which strike us
exactly because of their absolute adapta-
ton to form with ourselves an adequate
union. OF course, we do not definitely
seek out and discover such qualities;
instinct works far more intuitively
than that; but we find at last, by subse-
quent observation, how true and how
trustworthy were its immediate indica-
| tions. That is to say, those men do so
who were wise enough or fortunate
enough to follow the earliest prompt
ings of their own hearts. and not to be
ashamed of that divinest and deepest
of human institutions, love at first
sight.
I do not doubt that, as the world
goes on. deeper sense of moral re
sponsibility in the matter of marriage
will grow up among us. But it viii
not take the false direction of ignoring
these, our profoundest and hottest in
stincts. Marriage for money may go
marriage for rank may go; marriage
for position may go; but marriage f0l
love, believe and trust will last for

A LANDMARK GONE.

Built in 1000 and Destroyed by Fire After
Over Two Centuries.
The oldest dwelling house in Vir-
ginia, if not the Oldest in the United
States, was destroyed by fire short
time ago This residence was on the
Potomac river, in Westmoreland Coun-
ty, Va, about ninety miles southeast
of Washington. 1t was built in 1860
by Henry Corbin, who settled in the
parish of Strathon Major about 1850,
on a tract of land obtained by one
Nicholas Jarnen from Charles H., De-
tober IS, 1850. The name of Peckatoho
was given the grant, and 100000 brick
were imported from England to build
the structure that was devoured by the
flames two hundred and twcnty-six
years later. The walls of this building
at the foundation were three feet in
thickness and the timber used in its
construction was of hewn oak. 1t was
apparently as solid on the day that it
was destroyed rs when first built and
its walls are now standing intact. The
first English settlement in Virginia
was at jamestown and the settlement
of Plymouth Rock was made in 1920.
The relies of early settlement can be
found at Saint Augustine, Florida, and
at Sante Fe, New Mexico, but they are
in the form of old forts and no walls of
dwelling houses built at such an early
date are standing.
A hundred years or so ago, after the
old dwelling house was built, it was
allowed to fall into decay. One by one
window frames rotted and were blown
out by gales of wind; ceilings and the
plastering from the walls fell from ex-
posture to rain and sun. The large
stone porches at the front and rear oil
the house finally fell to pieces, and
through holes in the roof the elements
completed the general appearance Of
dilapidation. In 1885 the property was
sold to Horace B. Kirkwood, of this
city. He restored the mansion to &
habitable condition and furnished it in
handsome style. Among those distin
guished families who, during a periot
of more than two centuries. have liyeC
at Peckatone, are the Corbins, thu
Lees, the Taylors, the Turberyilles, thu
Dangerfields, the Talliferrors and tn,
Hardwicks, all old Virginia families

ever. Men in the future will probably
feel that a union with their cousins or
near relations is positively wicked;
that union with those too like them
in person or disposition is at least un-
desirable; that union based upon con-
siderations of wealth or any other con.
sideration save considerations of immeA
diate natural impulse, is base and dis
graceful. But to the end of time they
will continue to feel, in spite of doc
trinaires, that the voice of Nature is
better far than the voice of the Lord
Chancellor or the Royal Society; and
that the instructive desire for partic-
ular helpmate is surer guide for the
ultimate happiness, both of the race
and of the individual, than any amount
of deliberate consultation. 1t is not
the foolish fancies of youth that will
have to be got rid of, but the foolish,
wicked and mischievous interference
of parents or outsiders. = Grant Alien,

But our unsuspicious friend remained
on the tree, and, fortunately for its
safety, the wedding which followed
within month occurred in the morn
ing at the church, and the couple
started directly for their new house in
the city. So there was no wedding
feast that time.
After the wedding, life on the farm
was extremely dull. You have no idea
how the barn-yard residents missed the
pretty bride. 1t was as if they had
lost both parents at single stroke.
But they got over it at last, and by the
time Thanksgiving approached they
had quite regained their whilom cheer
fulness. 1t was three days before
Thanksgiving that our little friend,
who had grown quite corpulent, hav-
| ing taken to feeding as a means OF for
getting its bereavement, was perched
upon the lower limb of its fayorite
apple-tree. The night was dark, but
not unpleasant, and our friend felt in

"Do you think sop returned the
turkey, enthusiastically.
81 shouldn't be surprised" replied
the cock, with very suggestive wink,
and with hop, skip and flop it was
soon very safely perched on the very
highest branch of the tree. But this
romantic, grateful little friend of ours
remained where it was, and, as it,
eyes closed in sleep, it dreamed that il
was in the city visiting Mary, and she
was so glad to see it that she made {

Where, just in front, she sideways sat,
Her melting eyes and face to meet
land no one wondered much at that.
For soon the station where she left
Would on the sorrowing vision rise,
/ And at least should feel bereft;
thought tear stood in her eyes.
She was but kith. not kin, of mine
Ten years had passed since last we met;
And when, in going, she did incline
Her face, twas natural to forget.
1t seemed so like the child knew,
met her halfway for that sake;
And, coming near those eyes of blue,
She gently X ssed me--by mistdke!
She saw her error and straightway ran
With flaming bushes, rosy red;
should not be one-half n man
If thought of wrong came in my head;
In fact, I'd take that very train
And travel daily for her sake,
II she would only come again
And gently kiss me-by mistake!

French School Statistics.

Some interesting educational stats.
tics have just been published by the
French Minister of Public Instruction.
The number of primary public schools
in France is 66,323, an increase of
527 compared with last year, and pri-
vate schools 1902, or an increase Of
142. The number of scholars in the
public primary schools is 4,503, $50,
and private schools 1,077,8 1857. In 1871
the number of persons in France I'M
able to read or write was IS to 40 per
cent. In 1885 the number of couples
who we're able to sign their certificate
Of marriage was 1876 per cent. for the
men and 1872 for the women. The av-
erage number of army recruits now
able to read and write is 1914 per cent.
These and other figures supplied by
official returns show that education
